(in several different ways ...) At about 76 percent of all phishing attacks, software represents the largest doorway that cybercriminals such as hackers use to enter computer usersÂ’ systems and steal confidential information, IT security experts say. One Cupertino, California-based security, storage and systems management solutions provider, Symantec Corp., recently reported that it is seeing malicious code grow at a record pace. In recent weeks, more and more home and small office computers have seen their networks compromised by Internet security attacks that gain traction through the devices that many use to make usersÂ’ home-surfing lives more portable: routers. In an effort to try and preempt the attacks, D-Link recently launched a new system that prevents malicious software by detecting whether responses are generated by humans or computers. http://sip-trunking.tmcnet.com/topics/security/articles/55939-eyeing-home- network-security-d-link-brings-captcha.htm ====================== (quote inserted randomly by Pegasus Mailer) rslade () vcn bc ca slade () victoria tc ca rslade () computercrime org Patriotism is the Rohypnol of the American Public - John Bender, http://bantha.cjb.net/john http://victoria.tc.ca/techrev/rms.htm http://blog.isc2.org/isc2_blog/slade/index.html http://twitter.com/rslade http://blogs.securiteam.com/index.php/archives/author/p1/ _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
